AFTER COMPLETING HIS LAST SPRAY RUN, THE PLT BEGAN A TURN. DURING THE TURN, THE ENG LOST POWER, THEN RESTARTED & LOST POWER AGAIN. ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE ENG WERE TO NO AVAIL. SINCE THE ACFT WAS STILL AT A VERY LOW ALT (APRX 50 FT), AN EMERG LANDING WAS IMMINENT. THE PLT LANDED IN A FIELD OF TALL ALFALFA & THE ACFT NOSED OVER. HE REPORTED THAT THE ENG HAD QUIT DUE TO A MECHANICAL PROBLEM, BUT NO PREIMPACT PART FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION WAS FOUND.
